We study the maximum of a Brownian motion with a parabolic drift; this is a random variable that often occurs as a limit of the maximum of discrete processes whose expectations have a maximum at an interior point. We give…

We give a simple proof that in a Lipschitz domain in two dimensions with Lipschitz constant one, there is pathwise uniqueness for the Skorokhod equation governing reflecting Brownian motion.

For the one-dimensional Brownian motion $B=(B_t)_{t\geq 0}$, started at $x>0$, and the  first hitting time $\tau=\inf\{t\geq 0:B_t=0\}$, we find the probability density of $B_{u\tau}$ for a $u\in(0,1)$, i.e. of the Brownian motion on its way to hitting zero.

We present functional versions of recent results on the univariate distributions of the process $V_{x,u} = x + W_{u\tau(x)},$ $0\le u\le 1$, where $W_\bullet$ is the standard Brownian motion process, $x>0$ and $\tau (x) =\inf\{t>0 :\, W_{t}=-x\}$.

Let $M$ be a smooth, compact, connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $d>2$ and without boundary. Denote by $T(x,r)$ the hitting time of the ball of radius $r$ centered at $x$ by Brownian motion on $M$. Then, $C_r(M)=\sup_{x \in M} T(x,r)$…

Consider the domain lying outside a horn. We determine asymptotics of the logarithm of the chance that Brownian motion in the domain has a large exit place. For a certain class of horns, the behavior is given explicitly in terms…

For Brownian motion in an unbounded domain we study the influence of the "far away" behavior of the domain on the probability that the modulus of the Brownian motion is large when it exits the domain. Roughly speaking, if the…

Benjamini, Burdzy and Chen (2007) introduced the notion of a shy coupling: a coupling of a Markov process such that, for suitable starting points, there is a positive chance of the two component processes of the coupling staying at least…

It was shown in Groeneboom (1983) that the least concave majorant of one-sided Brownian motion without drift can be characterized by a jump process with independent increments, which is the inverse of the process of slopes of the least concave…
